PRC202 - Megaman Meets Starfox (Mega Man Battle Network + Star Fox 2)

[Bundeslang]

The People's Remix Competition 202
PRCv8-20

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (http://www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv)

Last PRC had two participants, and two winners. Both of the remixes got 15 points so it's a tie. Two new sources are selected.

Zerothemaster submitted the first source for this edition.
The Mega Man Battle Network series is the series that got me into gaming in the first place. I joined it at BN5 (a little late, I know), and have loved the series ever since. It's due to that game that I'm a hardcore MM fan today... if it hadn't been for it, I wouldn't have even found OCR! D:

But this is my favoritest track of the entire series: Cold and Silent, Battle Network 1. The most inspiring and dark track in the series.

I can't wait to hear all the remixes!


SubNormal J3 submitted the second source for this edition.
Awesome. I'll go with the following track then:

Star Fox 2 (Unreleased SNES Game)
In the spirit of Star Fox 64 3-D releasing next week, here is a track from Star Fox 2. It is pretty dynamic so it should be fun to arrange.

Mega Man Battle Network (GBA) - Cold And Silent (Ice Man)


Star Fox 2 (SNES Unreleased)- Eladard

[Zerothemaster]

Ooooooo nice pick Subby.

I've never heard of it before but apparently it's popular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoIG6rFzCh4

I'll see if I have time, but I might not make it (other songs and stuff)

[Bundeslang]

I edited the first line, this is PRC202, not PRC2021. That one will happen in 2081. Maybe Ocremix is big enough and has enough remixes then to not allow any source to be a PRC song.:mrgreen:

[Marcusg]

I want to remix both of these but Im afraid I won't have time, but if I do it won't be that good.

[evktalo]

Really nice source picks. :nicework:

Seconded.

Wow, I already have two short sketches and one half-baked idea and there's still a week to go. Usually I don't have anything for a while o_O

Yeah, same here. Both of my legit ideas are for Eladard.

Lol. I had no idea either. As for the compo, I probably won't be able to submit this round either. Unless I can whip up something decent tomorrow.

[OneUp]

Finally I got my thumb out of my ass (as we say in Sweden) and finished a remix :)

[evktalo]

Good going! I think that same saying is in Finnish too. I'll be keeping mine in mine this round unfortunately.

[Zerothemaster]

finally started on my mix.

Taking a whole new approach, heavily reverbed acoustic guitars with space cores and hares doing background vocals. :D

No new approaches for me, but I'm definitely trying to emulate my genre of choice a bit more accurately.

I refuse to sleep tonight until I finish this.

[chroxic]

Two hours later, I have finished to the best of my ability and subbed my track. I had some fun with some vocal samples. :)!!

[Marcusg]

Spent a lot of time of my remix just to realize it sucks.
edit: f**# this Im going hard.

[Zerothemaster]

blahblahtimethereisnotime

I should have a mix, but the mixing and stuff might not feel too polished.

EDIT: AHAHAHA

Too bad. I would have voted for this one. A unique soundscape, with dissonance that stays on the fence without falling apart which is quite admirable. I like the interpretation circa 0:45 and how you took advantage of the short melodic section at the end of the original source loop. Nice work!

[Zerothemaster]

bunde might be able to add it as a bonus mix.

Hey man thanks for the feedback!!

No big deal I didn't make the cutoff, its all in good fun! I'm content with being a just a bonus entry :-D

[chroxic]

WOW. I listened to my entry earlier today on a higher-quality sound system at my friend's house and my song sounded like shit. Sorry if you're drowning in bass frequencies!! DX

After my next compo (GRMRB Exhibition Match), I'm going to hold off on mixing for a bit until I can figure out what to do about my speaker situation. (not to mention school is nuts, but that is another story)

[Marcusg]

Man, I would of did the mega man joint if I knew everyone was going to do Star Fox. lol that was what I was originally remixing but changed my mind.

Btw Chroxic did you mix with headphones? Just curious.

edit: when is the log in link going to get fixed?

[Zerothemaster]

I wanted to do the mmbn one, but, alas, twas not to be.

I remix with headphones when I'm at school and a speaker system when at home.

if anyone cares.

[chroxic]

I use a Logitech surround sound system minus the back two speakers simply because they're the only good set of speakers I have. I typically listen to music and mix on this system with the bass dial halfway. Even after cranking the dial all the way to max bass, it still doesn't sound as bad as it did at my friend's house.

That leaves four possibilities:


The sub just can't deliver the actual amount of bass that is produced and therefore I need to look for new speakers if I want a more accurate sound representation. (this system was like $99)
Something is weird in my soundcard settings.
Both.
I need to quit whining and just get used to these ones for the sake of saving some money right now.

Anyway, I'll quit derailing this topic and I'll post in the proper place if I need any help.

All of the entries sound awesome guys! How's that for on-topic? :tomatoface:

Thanks. I'll add it after the voting stage.
